-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Windows Update, used with:
    - Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 4.0, 5 for Windows 98 
 - Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95 
 - Microsoft Plus! 98, version 1.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
If you are attempting to remove a Desktop Theme by double-clicking the Desktop
Themes icon in Control Panel, choosing the theme and then clicking Delete, you
may notice that the Theme folder is not removed from the Plus! folder in the
Program Files directory.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This is by design. Manually deleting a Desktop Theme may remove files that are
used by other applications.
 
For example: If you have a Word document that is using a specific font that was
also used by the theme you deleted, that Word document will not be viewable.
Fonts, sounds, and mouse pointers may be removed even if they were installed
with a program other than Desktop Themes.
